Question 8

How does the design process work?

Accepted Answer

For (large) free hand projects, the design is done in person, on your body, live art.  You approve the design prior to ink.  For individual pieces and centerpieces, anything that requires a sketch - the design will be provided when you arrive for your session.  From there, we refine the design on my ipad and work together until it is as you want.  Then we size and fit you before ink :)
